JiB 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2009 So didya clean the brakes like you promised in the first post? i'll clean them. I just haven't gotten round to it. Besides, dirty dirty oem looking brakes mo' betterer atm. "honest officer, these bmw's came with big brakes, look how dirty they are they must be factory." However, bright yellow/red/gold suspension might give it away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamB 48 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 Shift light (my tacho gave up) Hmmm, I might be able to help with that between runs on Sunday. I has nasty aftermarket tach with shift light. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamB 48 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 I'll PM you my mobile # - if you come around tomorrow, I have a test kit thing I bought once which has a tach mode (you connect it to the plug leads). Won't take long. What I'll lend to JiB is a crappy Autogauge tach - I am going out to Puke with him on Sunday for car club sprints, and I might try hook it up there if we have time.

Ohhh and i absolutely love the tape on the bumper.... it's bad donkey Lol, cheers mate. I also especially like the duct tape (much to the dismay of many). Well your wheels bonnet and rubber should match soon no?
